don bluth films occupy a weird space because he's both inarguably an auteur who directs very strange, earnest, often "ugly" films but also a guy who near exclusively made movies for 8 year olds in the home video era. so basically everything he's ever done is a grimy, dreamy rumination on death and spirituality and has a direct to video sequel called something like secret of nimh 2: mrs. brisby's holiday adventure

#this happens to a lot of family films obviously #but i can't really think of another director that has a familiar divide between a very stylistic and thematically specific body of work #and direct to video kids movie-quality sequels #the sequels to musker and clements films don't really have the same severe difference in tone to the originals #what happened to neverending story didn't happen to every wolfgang peterson movie #etc

To Be Loved is To Be Changed, Or Whatever - Manga Edition

Day 1 vs Day 5,101 (give or take)

#dbtag #vegebul #Was I manga crawling because I wanted to make a shippy little graphic after work? Bitch I may have been #I had to do math but they've known each other for like 14-16 years by the GokuBlack arc and spent *Most* of that time together goddamn #My kingdom for a remake of the anime that doesn't write them Like That because I need Whis to be like 'we gotta train for 6 months'#and Vegeta to be like 'but the only time I've been away from my wife and kid that long was in the spirit & time room and that was...Before'#because I in my fandom-ass heart would love for Bulma to be the one to bully him into doing it scared #because Vegeta DOES have like. Canonical reasons to be anxious about leaving home his planet blew up while he was away from home #And I want [grips fist] more of that. None of this 'he's away for months at a time without notice' bullshit that's Goku's thing #More of 'if Vegeta disappears for a week Bulma will Find Him' more of 'if Vegeta is gone for three weeks he and Bulma both don't like it'#I also just want more of Bulma supporting his training post-buu!! she bought him an Island so he could train outside during the gap!!#one of the character designers said an anime remake was inevitable and goddamn listen I will always have a soft spot for the OG series #but like give me the Daima team doing a remake that is manga-based. Let Toyatarou help he was a director too and he loves the anime AND GT #It could be a beautiful compromise that is much much closer to Toriyama's taste and humor and I want it so much #Do it while we still have our jpn VAs we already lost OG Bulma TToTT

In Greta Gerwig’s Narnia, God Is a Woman and the Usual Suspects Are Spinning It Faster Than Lewis’ Corpse in His Grave.

Again, please consider:

Would you call Michael Bay a “visionary” if he was hired to reboot Wonder Woman and not only cast Chris Pratt as the lead character, but made Diana “Wonder Man?”

Would you call him a “visionary” for taking a character who’s based off a historical figure, a historical figure who’s gender is an integral part of their iconography, and swapping that gender?

Would you call it “visionary” for Michael Bay to grab Wonder Woman, who is associated with a historical person that means so much to huge swathes of worldviews, and invert Wonder Woman?

Would you, seriously?

Be intellectually honest.

It’s not “visionary.” It’s narcissistic.

Who are you, who do you think you are, to take something that means something bigger than you to people who are more numerous than you and invert it? So that it only means what you think it should mean, and all your groupies?

She’s Woman, so God has to be, too. Because she thinks she’s god. The narcissism. I’m choking on it.

What a one-trick pony Greta Gerwig is.

Barbie’s gotta be Eve-turned-into-God-because-God-should-be-a-Woman-because-Greta’s-a-Woman.

Jo’s gotta be representing-Greta-Gerwig’s-personal-experience-as-a-woman-which-represents-every-woman’s-experience-as-a-woman-because-Greta-Gerwig-is-all-there-is.

Ain’t you got any other tricks, Madam Mirror? Some “visionary.”

To the next adventure...

Image description and details under cut

I.D.

[A drawing of Nicky, Joe, Quynh, and Andy from The Old Guard. They are all in profile, walking in a straight line facing the sun. They are dressed in medieval clothing and armour, and each carry their own weapons and bags. Nicky has his sword, a crossbow, a quiver of bolts, a dagger at his belt and another strapped to his ankle. Joe is holding his sword, a bag, and a coin purse. Quynh's bow is over her back, and her quiver is at her hip. Two daggers are strapped to her belt, one of them matching Nicky's. Andy is holding her axe, two bags, and a dagger. They each have serene expressions and closed eyes, as if they're not in a hurry. In the background, the seasons change from winter to spring, summer, fall. There is an old tree behind them, and its branches change with the seasons.]

#tog #the old guard #nicolo di genova #yusuf al kaysani #quynh #andromache of scythia #the old gays #siggy draws #FINALLY. this took... 3 months altogether? FUCK i miss these four.#apologies if my image description is super long. i really enjoy drawing all these tiny details...#director's commentary as usual:#when i draw stuff like this it's usually because i'm working on a big fic. and i am. but also it is taking me over a year so far #because i'm finishing my undergrad. but i do plan to finish the fic!#regardless they could be walking anywhere.#tried to keep it sometime around the 14th century. i always try to put them in clothes that reflect their personalities -#- and places of origin more or less.#andromache's mail is old af and not in good shape. only she and nicolo have spurs so i guess they would be the riders if they had horses #but i am not about to attempt to draw a horse lol #details i like: nicky's little hat to protect his hair from his chainmail. his and quynh's matching daggers. yusuf's fancy-boy armour.#quynh's leg wraps and her jerkin. and andy's super old chainmail and her whip braids <3 #where are they going? where did they come from? it's up to ye.

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

#'but lucabyte didnt you already do a comic with this exact same message? that loop has potentially killed their party intentionally before?'#yes i did absolutely do that thank you for noticing. that is what the cannibalism comic is about. no that was not a metaphor. lol #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #sifloop #isat siffrin #isat loop #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #lucabyteart #ill ramble elsewhere some other time. maybe in a text post. but. long and short of it: even if you assume the answer to 'how do they know'#is that in sasasap isa got frozen once. theres still the fact that the loops are from sif being too distressed. how far gone does a siffrin #have to be before they can witness a party member die and notice it has no effect. how does loop feel to have planned to kill the party #during act 3. why did they NEED to show sif that. are they trying to preemtively stop them from getting the idea in their head #that maybe that might work? when they're out of all other options? when they just get so frustrated and at wits end?#loop helps in subtle ways through the whole game. and in less subtle ways like begging sif not to use the dagger. and while yes the #overarching reason you need to learn that the loops are tied to sif is because you need to figure out wish craft.... loop doesn't know the #actual mechanics of the loops themselves. just what didn't work. the power of friendship. getting the final hit in. being perfect. etc...#and besides all that.. how did loop feel during that hangout. being so deceitful. especially since before the other shoe drops #sif is enjoying themselves. but they know what's coming the whole time.#as for: why bathing? its the obvious imagery for blood on their hands/washing/never being clean. and is a bit of an inversion of the other #piece i just drew with the other casual closeness and nudity being kind. this one is cruel instead.#anyway tag ramble over ill do a masterpost of all my fanwork with some directors commentary sometime i promise. since i know im often vague
